Larnaca, Cyprus. Two people were hospitalised after jumping from a second-floor window during a police search of a flat in Larnaca on Thursday night, and three people were arrested, police said on Friday.

Police said both injured individuals were arrested after officers found they were residing in Cyprus without the requisite residence documents.
Police said the two people who remained inside the flat were both 34-year-old men. During the search, police said they found 25 bags containing dry plant matter believed to be cannabis, with a combined weight of 600 grams, as well as another bag containing 346 grams of the same dry plant matter.
